Premier League giants Manchester United and La Liga’s Sevilla have been booted out of the Champions League after finishing bottom of their respective groups.
Three-time Champions League winner United needed to beat Bayern Munich at home and hope that Copenhagen’s game against Galatasaray would favor them.
Instead, the underdogs of the group, Copenhagen beat Galatasaray at home to qualify for the knockout round.
Galatasaray finished third to qualify for the Europa League knockout round playoff above last-place United. The Red Devils conceded 15 goals in six games.
It is only the fourth time a Premier League team has finished bottom of its Champions League group.
Italian champion Napoli advanced to the last 16 after beating Portuguese side Braga 2-0 at home to finish second in Group C, which had already been won by Real Madrid.
Last year’s Champions League runner-up Inter Milan and Spanish club Real Sociedad had already qualified from Group D and drew 0-0 in Italy.
Group winners are seeded in the last-16 draw on Dec. 18 and avoid each other. Teams also cannot be drawn against an opponent from their own country.
